Process

How a mural comes to life

Commissioning a mural is simpler than you might think. Here's what happens from the moment you get in touch.

  1. 01

    Consultation

    Send photos and measurements of the wall, or book a site visit. We'll talk about the feel you want, who uses the space, colours, deadlines and budget. You'll get a price range before any design work starts.

  2. 02

    Design & VR preview

    We bring your design to your space for a design consultation, where you'll have the chance to visualise it through a VR headset: on your actual walls, in your room, at real size, before a drop of paint goes on. It takes the guesswork out: you can really picture the finished space and fine-tune the design until it feels right. A deposit then secures your painting dates.

  3. 03

    Painting

    Walls are prepped, primed and painted by hand using high-quality, low-odour interior paints suited to the surface. Commercial jobs can be scheduled out of hours to keep your business running.

  4. 04

    Reveal & aftercare

    The finished mural is sealed with a protective varnish where needed. You get care instructions, and touch-ups are always on offer down the line.

See it first

See your mural before it's painted.

During your design consultation, you'll have the chance to visualise your mural through a VR headset, seeing it in your room, exactly where it will be painted. You'll know what you're getting before a drop of paint goes on.

  • In your room

    See the design on your own walls, not on a screen.

  • At full size

    Walk around it and see how it sits with your space.

  • Before any paint

    Fine-tune it until it feels right, with no surprises.
